Hi,

The wall thickness is 1/4", Over engineered is always good, better safe then sorry.

Railskinner did you get the BM200 running yet?

[Parker]

Well the cabinet guys weren’t real keen on the way I was planing to drop the tank in so they came up with a better way. They have to rework the cabinets though so it's going to take an extra day.

Heres some updated pictures of the stand construction.

I found your keys, there next to the pilers on the floor.

Skimmer is not set up at the moment, i haven't had time to build a bigger sump yet

i'm undecided as to what size sump to throw under a 120- 150 gal tank

Hutches and corner cabinets in:

So what is it that your other half is hoping to put on the shelves, and what is it you are hoping for?

[Parker]

If it was up to me they would probably remain empty! lol

I want one of those model ships to put on there.. other then that I don't care..

My wife wants decorative things on the shelves.. things for me to dust as cleaning the basement is my responsibility

I vote that its your tank, and your cleaning responsibility, thus your space. Would you get one of those ships in a bottle kind of things or a non-bottled ship?

I really like how you've used the space, and the color I love it. I would love to do something like that for one of my future tanks, but knowing me, I would fill all the space with books, and still need more shelves! Still though, a ship, sounds pretty cool.
